2014 – Museum Home

This year’s competition involved designing a home to be inhabited by a museum’s scholar during their residence. The house was to be adjacent to the museum, and it’s design was required to integrate with the design of the museum. Each entrant was asked to choose a distinguished architect to have acted as the museum’s designer. Therefore, each student’s project was to be a reaction to their chosen architect’s work.
